On a brighter note, been shooting quite a bit with Gabe; both hustlin with the time we have left. It's so nice to meet like-minded people in the industry who are as passionate as you are.

I've been thinking about the past 6 months (wow, it's June already) and my progress as a human being. And it's so disheartening to see passion dilute and amount to nothing. It is inevitable, in a sense, to take the long and hard climb up without slipping every now and then; I was there once, believe me. when I graduated I thought that life had just begun for me. I was almost certain that the only way was to go up, and that the next few years of my career would've been as smooth sailing as I had planned it out to me. Little did I know how naive I was, and that there would be SO many shortcomings set ahead for me to discover. Along with many well-deserved successes.

There were the days I really wanted to give up being in this industry, give up fashion altogether, but I'm glad I didn't. So guys, keep the hustle alive. You'll get there, eventually.
